MONTREAL — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) today announced its 50th anniversary of providing nuclear power plant simulators for discerning plant operators and engineers worldwide.
From the first-of-its-kind Pickering-A simulator, built in 1973 in Montreal, Canada through today, L3Harris’ high-fidelity, plant-specific simulators continue to provide training value and engineering support in 22 countries across five continents.
“With the world increasingly recognizing the merits of nuclear energy, we are well-positioned to continue leading the way developing simulators for all classes of reactors, contributing to their safe and reliable operations,” said Rangesh Kasturi, President, Maritime International, L3Harris. “Our company’s continued leadership in simulation technology and deployment is fueled by our commitment to our customers and end users, and a spirit of continuous innovation from our incredible team.”
